Hi
I built a 7.2 V battery pack using two rechargeable 3.6V dc batteries
They eventually died and I purchased some different new 3.6
replacements. Unfortunately, when these are charged they pump out
total of 8+ volts and shut down my device
I'm an electronics dummy other than the basics. I thought I was goin
to be able to buy a 0 to 32 volt regulator from the Shack and jus
turn the switch (or adjust it) on it to 7.2 Volts, but upon seein
one in the store, there is no switch/adjuster, just a block and
metal pins
Basically, I want something that I can just attach to the battery pac
output wire that will ensure that 1/ no more than 7.2 V DC get
output, 2/ it allows voltage less than 7.2 Volts (it doesn't stop th
circuit if the battery is getting low), 3/ Is safe - I can just attac
it into the wire and no real electrics shock protection (it's no
going to build up a huge charge or anything), "just cover wit
electrical tape" type of project
I suppose whatever is suggested may cause heat, need heat to b
released. Let me know/advice if that might be an issue
It's just for a small video camera - so doesn't use much juice
Thanks for doing the forum. Hope I get some good help, and hopefull
use it for some other projects
